4 miles with darrin

twas another clear, cool and breezy nite here. we just got done. i took a nice hot shower and am sitting here sipping some water with a blanket draped over my shoulders. i took yesterday off as promised and i felt much better today. i had a nice easy bounce in my stride and enjoyed the run tonite. since it was a clear nite and the moon provided some light, we did an out and back instead of just laps in the neighborhood. as a result of that i didn't look at my watch the entire way, since there are no street lights there and i am simply not coordinated enough to push the light button on my watch and try to read the display while still running. so when we crossed in front of my house at the end of the run i was pleasantly rewarded with a 34:34 as the time. that's 8:39 per mile. heh. i knew we were setting a pretty good pace, but it didn't get uncomfortable. we're planning on another 4 tomorrow.

the bad news is that since both of us have very busy weekends coming up, we may not have time to get in the 12 mile run. we might slice it to something like 7 miles. we could do the 12 if we got up really early saturday morning, but i was hoping not to run too early so that it might warm up a little. oh well, we'll see.

anyway, that's enough for now. me tired. nitey nite!
